My 5000th Post Traditional Fixed-Blade Giveaway - Do we have a winner?!



Jack Black

I seem to notice dreary rainy walks pulling a nice bone handled (usually 66 green) out of your pocket to sit it on a ledge with a nice background. I remember straight on. I took a quick attempt but my DOF is limited too much to show the backgrounds. I probably should have used my cell phone or a wide angle lens. Anyhow, this is about as close to a Jack Black shot as I am going to get today :)

Thanks for that Kevin :) That's a great-looking knife you have there :thumbup:

I really like that shot. Great color, contrast, and I think it looks cool with the short DOF.
Here's my Jack Black homage photo, snapped for the wW thread just now.

Thanks! I knew it would not have the DOF with the 200mm and being so close to the knife. I decided to just go with it. My point and shoot was dead, tired of cell pics and did not feel like switching to a wide angle for the DOF. I like it too :)

Thanks Christian ;)
 
This is a great theme and giveaway. Thanks!
I was going to do my rendition of Sitflyer with with a Lumberjack stockman, but I've been beaten to the punch. This will be a placekeeper until I can come up with something else.

I got to take some photos on vacation this past week (finally!) and may have inadvertently borrowed someone's style. Now, how do I get the darn things off this iPad?!? :D

Placeholder for at least one pic...

Thanks for the chance Jack!

Cheers,
Griff

Look forward to seeing your pics Griff. Still another week to go s to see a few more entries :)
 
Needed to stretch my legs as my side is giving me jip....

....this is my take on the Johnnytwoshoes/Jack Black style(??)

 
Less than a week to go with this (hurry up Duncan! :D) and I thought I'd post a pic of the goody-bag contents.



There's one of my old Victorian pennies and some British coins (old and new), an old church-key, a vintage Sheffield fireman's button, a set of Sheffield knife-related postcards, a Yorkshire-English dictionary, a copy of Simon Moore's 'Penknives and Other Folding Knives', and a wee book on The Sheffield Outrages.

The winner gets the knife and goody-bag.

Good luck everyone.

Jack
 
Here you go, my best shot on others style shots, yet shade of the quality of the originals
